[QUOTE="Lil, post: 734322, member: 17309"] I admit, I did not and do not have the temperament for being a stay at home mom. My poor son would have been beaten before the week was out. An exaggeration, but I really am not a little kid person. They get on my nerves. I love my son and loved every moment (every tantrum-free moment) that I was with him...but I would not have if it had been 24/7. Also, as I was single pretty much immediately, my choices were go back to my job or be a lawyer on welfare. I hated being judged for working. I remember sitting across my desk from a woman, conducting her child support hearing, and when I was questioning her about her income some advised me she was not working because she didn't "[I]believe in letting someone else raise my children[/I]" all the while looking at what was clearly photos of MY child all over my office! That was some nerve. [/QUOTE]
